Here’s another good example of people planting something in their stone walls.

Thurgood Marshall, Frederick Douglass, but who’s in the middle?

I like the paint job. This house of the day, also received door of the day honors a year or so back. The door is so fresh it is worth honoring again. Check out a closer shot after the jump. (more…)

Are you aware of this weekend

Any store that has a cow welcoming me upon entry is a cool store in my book. Free PoP T-shirt to the first one who gets the name of the store and neighborhood in which it’s located. After that’s been established, let me know if you dig the store?

You can easily walk by this small basement store at 1843 14th Street just south of T Street. Now, I’m not a huge record fan but you have to dig the style of this store. And wasn’t it just national record store week or something like that? Actually, now may be a good time to explain to me the appeal of purchasing records. Is it because the quality is somehow more authentic? Anyway, this store is super fresh and if you like the vinyl you ought to check it out.

This one comes in twos and rocks for the extras. A $2,200 two bedroom, two bathroom, two entrances, two level condo on Randal and 13th (not too far from the Columbia Heights metro). The extras include utilities…and furniture! The place is fully furnished, not to mention a 62 inch LCD television that can be part of the rental deal. There are few places I know that can boast that.
But the most amazing thing about this place, even more so than the television, is a spiral staircase in the condo. Imagine sliding down that railing.

More Rentals after the jump. (more…)
Many people have written me about the craigslist post alleging that there was a mugging in the DC USA parking garage. This has turned out to be absolutely false. Ed. note: You see I learned from my previous rumor spreading mistake and waited for confirmation this time. But my question is – what is the motivation for spreading such a false damaging rumor like this? Who would do such a thing and why? Are these jealous proprietors from Virgina or some folks who are upset about losing business. For real, why would someone lie about crime in this area when crime is such a provocative topic? Is it just for the thrill of riling people up? Or is it something more nefarious?
